why sprinting works

[Legion Kreinak]

Alright... so my workout looks like this:

Sunday: Abs
Monday: Chest/Calves
Tuesday: Abs
Wednesday: Back/Shoulders
Thursday: Abs
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Arms

Where should I start sprints? 1x a week I'm guessing... maybe tuesday? Because it's pretty far from leg day, which is probably helpful. Though, deadlifts do hit quads and such too.

And then, when should I move up to 2x a week? I guess when I feel comfortable.

i would do them on tuesday. also, if you do weighted ab movements, i dont think you'd need 3x a week, or are you training for something?

Nah, I don't use weighted. Should I try that? I just figured abs are more like calves and need extra volume to be hit hard... wait, though I do use weights when I work my calves.

abs actually respond better to low reps, and you should use weights to make your abs stronger to make you more stable, and I would only do abs twice a week.
